Most of them [exchanges]]will have tagged stolen coins from known hacks so when they are deposited the account is flagged/locked.

Tumblers/mixers are the most likely place to pick these up.

Very, very happy for you!

Are there any applications for polymagnets in what you are doing?

Negative

Mark is out on bail... But I'm sure his inbox is full (if he's even allowed to use a computer at this point).

Your next best bet would be Jesse Powell of Kraken, I believe he's the one in charge of the bankruptcy.

Sorry for your losses.

I've thought about it like this for the last couple of years: Finding a good partner is the most important decision you can make. After all of the promotions and successful business deals/ventures, if you fail to do so, chances are you'll lose ~50%. Easier said than done though.

I think most people understand your last point as you meant it, but Democracy and communism are Apples and Oranges.

Hi, I'm Ashley Barr. (I'll prove it if necessary, but the tracks to this username have already been proved out by the bitcoin community) This is pretty vivid summary. I didn't actually know that most of what I provided was already in the public record. The reason I'm commenting is that I'm hoping to get more eyeballs on my original AMA, regarding Edit 3. Cheers for your insights, I learned a little too.

Have you considered doing a fecal transplant?

Such awesome. Wow.

Maybe too late but

Awwwwwhhhhhoooooooo

Stupid question, but couldn't a quad-copter basically accomplish all of this by using roters that change their axis?

Well, they look to have failed out of the gate. Why would Joe Nobody want to use "Dark Wallet". . Rename it, and you'll have a better chance.

It's a great question, and one I'm pretty optimistic about us getting right.

Take Open Source Ecology for example. They're making the Global Village Construction set, a collection of Open Source machines that cost a fraction of what proprietary solutions do today. I think the impact of what they are enabling is hugely catalyzing towards that end (post-scarcity communism [collective ownership of capital). To the uninitiated, it it might sound like they are do-gooders just trying to make cheap machinery available for developed regions, but in reality the kind of people who will benefit immediately are other engineers. The more these engineers are liberated by the technical/economical advances of the GVCS, the more time they'll have to put back into into the project. I can already imagine the first few small semi-sustainable towns popping up, packed with engineers, ideally mushrooming into the kind of ending Manna so wonderfully illustrated.

The more collaboration we see around giving people the technologies they need to look after themselves/family/community, the less likely we'll be living in a capitalist-dystopia.

For me personally, if I was given the option between being a billionaire and being able to have everything that I want, or helping to actively build with others towards a future where we can all get what we want... I know I'd have to go with the latter.

I'm very curious about how you're tackling this problem. It's no longer a secret that insects could provide a rich and abundant source or protein, the biggest problem I've seen this far is how to farm them, in other words what is the sustainable input into these farms?

As the other commenter pointed out, black soldier flies are a wonderful output, but from my research I've seen that they need meat for to grow and their larva to hatch.

I would also suggest you get your money out for the 5%. If their Japanese branch starts giving them trouble (they don't have licensing in Japan), there's the risk your money will be seized.

It's cool you believe in your product and its potential. At a first glance, I'm really interested in trying it out, but yeah "This is gonna change the world" kind of mantra really isn't what I need to see from and center. I don't know who you are, so unfortunately it comes off as pitchy. Tell me how this will help me convey and consume content.

Why will it change my world?

I have this fantasy where my desk is able to attach rack mount chassis (u1/U2 x 2). It seems to me this would need to be a mod... Do you think the motor on these desks would be strong enough for such a feat?

That's like saying "The government stole my car from the valet who was driving it without a license". Mt.Gox knew they needed a license, that's been made extremely clear. The only reason they are still operating at all is because Japanese authorities are asleep at the wheel.

AFAIK Mt. Gox doesn't have any license(s) in any of the markets they serve. Afraid it's just going to get worse for them.

Reading it again, you might have it right... in which case I feel bad for offering up criticism when it is surely better deserved elsewhere.

I completely appreciate what you're saying here, and I think you're absolutely correct... However framing your insight with "Again you fail" makes me respect your opinion less. As someone who had a similar idea to the person you replied to, and as someone who comes to HN to have "smarter people in the room", it's this kind of condescension that keeps me from commenting on HN.

Sorry for the mini-rant, your three word comment doesn't really warrant it but hopefully you can respect why I took the time to type it.

wow... any chance this is the reason I've suddenly started getting pounded with "work in america!" emails? (I'm Canadian, and probably not the demographic they are trying to target)

Thanks for the link, they got me at "The trial is smart, and will only end after 10 days on which you have actually used Soulver."

Are they teaching the "100 chest pumps per minute" technique now?

I recall seeing that it is almost as effective as the "legacy" CPR rescue breaths.

It's honestly super easy to remember, and I'll feel comfortable performing it if I find myself in that situation.

This would have to be in a different industry though, no? Inherently the point of automation is to shrink the amount of labor required to do a task. So as to your comment and in my example of customer service, employees laid off from company A would need to acquire technical skills to manage the new automation in that industry (likely that company B has already, or will adopt), or move to a different industry completely.

The problem I see is that everyone is automating though. Or is it assumed that enough tasks can't be automated to actually effect unemployment?

Hi Jason,

I've been reading a few of these articles lately, and I really enjoyed your first person perspective on what is otherwise being dubbed "Technological Unemployment".

I'm wondering if you think that a re-localized economy, namely one created around the local production of food through urban farms could be a viable way to offset the growing problem of unemployment.

I keep hearing people say this... yet I'm confused. The operational goal of companies (and industry) as a whole is to continually increase efficiency to reap more profits.

If you take a step back, and just look at the entire machine, it seems frivolous for any industry to make investments in technology, given that your statement is true.

The big telecom I worked for was trying to automate their customer service, I highly doubt they would make the investment in the technology if they expected rehire the equivalent amount of layoffs.

Anyway, if I'm off point or misunderstanding some key mechanism at play, I'd love to be a bit more enlightened, because your opinion seems to be the dominant one.

If you're still giving some priority to HN users… /raises hand
